PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING MEANS HAZARDOUS SEA CONDITIONS ARE
IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. RECREATIONAL BOATERS SHOULD REMAIN IN
PORT...OR TAKE SHELTER UNTIL WAVES SUBSIDE.  COMMERCIAL VESSELS
SHOULD PREPARE FOR ROUGH SEAS AND CONSIDER REMAINING IN PORT OR
TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL HAZARDOUS SEAS SUBSIDE.

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURRING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES
EXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE
HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.

SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR WIND MEANS THAT WIND SPEEDS OF 23 TO
33 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED. INEXPERIENCED MARINERS...ESPECIALLY THOSE
OPERATING SMALLER VESSELS SHOULD AVOID NAVIGATING IN THESE
CONDITIONS.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES WILL
BE STEEP ENOUGH TO CREATE A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO SMALL CRAFT.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
900 PM PDT SUN MAR 23 2014

.DISCUSSION...AN UPDATE IS NOT NECESSARY THIS EVENING. THE DAY
SHIFT ISSUED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT (PDXSPSMFR) WITH A BIG
CHANGE TO MORE SEASONABLY STORMY WEATHER ON TUESDAY.

THE DIURNAL RANGE IN TEMPERATURES HAS BEEN VERY LARGE AND THAT
WILL CONTINUE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 20S
AND 30S AGAIN ON MONDAY MORNING THEN SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL HELP
BRING OUR WARMING TREND OF HIGH TEMPERATURES TO A PEAK IN THE
AFTERNOON. AFTER ANOTHER VERY WARM AND SUNNY DAY ON MONDAY, HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER ON TUESDAY,
WHICH WILL BE AROUND NORMAL LEVELS. SLIGHT ADDITIONAL COOLING IS
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY. BUT, THE MORE SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE WILL BE THE ARRIVAL OF RAIN ON TUESDAY...MAINLY FROM THE
CASCADES WESTWARD WITH SNOW LEVELS FORECAST AROUND 5500 FEET.

THE 12Z ECMWF AND 18Z GFS INDICATE A STRONGER FRONT WILL FOLLOW ON
WEDNESDAY THEN A WARM FRONTAL OVERRUNNING PATTERN WITH MORE MAINLY
WEST SIDE RAIN THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. A STRONGER COLD FRONT
MAY FOLLOW ON FRIDAY AND MOVE SLOWLY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE
WIDESPREAD AND SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY INTO NEXT SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 24/00Z TAF CYCLE. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS OVER ALL OF SOUTHWEST OREGON AND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. HIGH CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE LATE ON MONDAY
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WITH LOWER CLOUDS EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.  -SVEN

&&

.MARINE...OFFSHORE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING LIGHT WINDS AND LOWER
SEAS THIS EVENING INTO MONDAY MORNING. SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE
MONDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. A PERIOD OF GUSTY SOUTH
WINDS AND STEEP SEAS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY...POSSIBLY REACHING GALES BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING FROM
CAPE BLANCO NORTHWARD. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AS THE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE WATERS. SHOWERY, UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL
PERSIST OVER THE WATERS WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY, THEN ANOTHER STRONG
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY. -SVEN

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 245 PM PDT SUN MAR 23 2014/

DISCUSSION...THE QUIET...DRY AND MILD WEATHER WE HAD THE LAST
SEVERAL DAYS WILL COME TO AN END STARTING EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE'LL
HAVE ONE MORE PICTURE PERFECT DAY MONDAY, THEN IT ALL COMES TO AN
END WHEN THE THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF SYSTEMS WILL BRING
COOLER...WET AND WINDY CONDITIONS FROM TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

CURRENT VISIBLE IMAGE SHOWS CLEAR SKIES OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH TONIGHT, THE EXCEPTION WILL BE
ALONG THE SOUTH COAST WHERE MARINE STATUS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE
NORTH ALONG OR JUST OFF THE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST. ONCE AGAIN
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL DOWN TONIGHT, BUT NOT AS COOL AS PREVIOUS
NIGHT. A FEW TYPICAL COLD SPOTS MAY DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S FOR AN
HOUR OR TWO AROUND DAYBREAK MONDAY. MONDAY WILL BE THE LAST NICE DAY
FOR A WHILE WITH MILDER TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL BE
NEAR OR IN LOWER 70S FOR THE WESTSIDE VALLEY AND MID TO UPPER 60S
EAST OF THE CASCADES. SKIES SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR IN THE MORNING, THEN
WE'LL SEE INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE RIDGE AXIS
SHIFTS EAST.

THE FOCUS OF CONCERN IS THE UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR 46 N/151 W. THIS
WILL MOVE EAST TO SOUTHEAST IN THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS. AHEAD OF THE
LOW WILL BE A FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST MONDAY
NIGHT. THE MODELS HAVE CONTINUED TO TREND SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THIS
AND THUS HAVE TRENDED POPS BACK FOR MOST INLAND AREAS, BUT LATER
SHIFTS MAY WANT TO ADJUST FURTHER IF THE MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND
SLOWER. THE FRONT WILL REACH THE COAST MONDAY NIGHT...THEN MOVE
INLAND TUESDAY MORNING. COLD AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE OVERHEAD AND THE
MODELS SUGGEST ENOUGH INSTABILITY EXIST FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE MARINE WATERS...COAST AND MOST OF DOUGLAS COUNTY. MODELS
SHOW MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES PEAK OUT OVER 7C/PER KM ALONG WITH
SURFACE BASED LI'S NEAR -1C AND 500MB TEMPERATURES BETWEEN -27 AND
-29 C MOVING IN ABOVE MENTIONED AREA. HAVE PUT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE, BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL WANT
TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS TO SEE IF IT NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
TUESDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE
SUMMER LAKE AREA BUT MOST AREAS WILL SEE BREEZY CONDITIONS AT TIMES
TUESDAY. MODELS SHOW A 40 TO 50 KT 700 MB JET MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
TUESDAY. THIS MAY BRING SOME ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS OF AROUND 45 MPH
TO THE SUMMER LAKE AREA.

SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP DOWN BETWEEN 5500 AND 6000 FEET TUESDAY
MORNING...4500 AND 5500 FEET TUESDAY EVENING, BUT COULD TEMPORALLY
LOWER AN ADDITIONAL 500 FEET IN AREAS THAT HAVE MODERATE TO HEAVY
PRECIPITATION. SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER FURTHER TO AROUND 4000 FEET
BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SO IT'S A GOOD BET WE'LL SNOW STARTING TO
ACCUMULATE ON ROADS NEAR DIAMOND AND CRATER LAKE AREAS AND HIGHWAYS
140 AND 66 LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. RIGHT NOW,
IT LOOKS LIKE COULD WE'LL PICK UP BETWEEN 4-7 INCHES ALONG THE
CASCADES AND 1-3 INCHES NEAR SISKIYOU SUMMIT. KEEP IN MIND, IT'S
STILL A FEW DAYS OUT AND DETAILS ON THIS COULD CHANGE.

IT'S POSSIBLE WE COULD CATCH RELATIVE BREAK IN THE WEATHER TUESDAY
NIGHT, THEN THE NEXT SYSTEM ROLLS IN WEDNESDAY MORNING. HOWEVER
CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT WE'LL GET A RELATIVE BREAK BECAUSE OF TIMING
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MODELS. THE MODELS SUGGEST THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY WILL BE ALONG THE COAST INTO NORTHWEST CAL
WITH SNOW LEVELS BETWEEN 4000-4500 FEET. -PETRUCELLI

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH THAT
COOLER, WETTER WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. AN UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON
THURSDAY AND THE ASSOCIATED MOIST, ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP
CONSIDERABLE SHOWER ACTIVITY GOING OVER SOUTHWEST OREGON AND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE RATHER LOW - 3500 TO 4000
FEET - ON THURSDAY, SO SNOW WILL LIKELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON TRAVEL IN
THE PASSES AND PERHAPS THE EAST SIDE ON THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO
FRIDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH DEPARTS ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND WHAT
PREVIOUSLY LOOKED LIKE A RIDGE FOR FRIDAY NOW LOOKS MORE LIKE
HEIGHTS BRIEFLY REBOUNDING BETWEEN THE DEPARTING TROUGH AND THE ONE
TO ARRIVE OVER THE WEEKEND. THUS, WE NO LONGER EXPECT FRIDAY TO BE
DRY, BUT HAVE INCREASED POPS INSTEAD, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEST SIDE.

A VERY LARGE TROUGH APPROACHES THE REGION ON SATURDAY WHILE A RIDGE
BUILDS OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. THE RESULTING SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT PUSHES SNOW LEVELS UP ABOVE 6000 FEET OVER OUR REGION. BUT THE
SYSTEM ALSO SLOWS AND BEGINS TO TAP SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE WITH A
BRIEF ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVENT POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND. THE GFS AND
THE ECMWF FOCUS RAINFALL INITIALLY OVER THE CURRY COAST SATURDAY AND
THEN BEGIN TO SHIFT THE FOCUS INTO THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND SHASTA
AREA BY SUNDAY. THE TIMING AND MAGNITUDE OF THIS EVENT ARE NOT
CERTAIN, BUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS OCCURRING IS INCREASING. -WRIGHT
